Biography

Early Life

Not much is known about Vermelo's early life except he later joined the Coalition of Ordered Governments Army as a medic when he became an adult.

Lambent Pandemic

Arrival to Anvil Gate

Vermelo was among the many Gears and civilians who chose to travel to Anvil Gate in Anvegad, Kashkur after the disbandment of the Coalition of Ordered Governments following the abandonment of Chairman Richard Prescott. The community was led by Mayor Lewis Gavriel and Colonel Victor Hoffman.

Victory Day

Eighteen months after arriving to Anvil Gate, the fortress city was assaulted by the Savage Locust and Lambent hordes. The Locust then used a Siegebeast to launch an artillery firebomb over the wall. Vermelo was moderately wounded by the explosion but was brought to his feet by Rua. Vermelo then rushed over and attended to the side of a wounded Gear trapped under a beam column. As he treated the Gear; Col. Hoffman, Sgt. Mataki, Rua, and Culda rushed up to defend the wall. Just as the Locust and Lambent began to overrun the garrison, the Imulsion Countermeasure was activated, and a wave of radiation vaporized the Lambent and neutralized the Locust by crystallizing them. Vermelo survived the battle and lived to see the end of the Locust War and Lambent Pandemic.

Interwar Period

Not much is known of Vermelo after the Locust War, except that he survived to see the new era of peace in the Interwar Period. Vermelo stayed in the COG army, but transitioned from a field medic to a standard Gear soldier.

Behind the Scenes

• Vermelo is an alternative spelling of Vermello, which means "red" in Portuguese. This is addition to all the generic characters like Carmine, Gyules and Rojas in Gears of War were all given names that related to the color red to reference the fact that they were red shirts, a term coined from Star Trek fans referring to expendable, background characters that were created just to be killed off.
